A significant atmospheric change indicates that the weeks following Thanksgiving may be colder and snowier than usual across parts of the U.S., attributed to a disruption in the polar vortex. This phenomenon can drive intense cold-air outbreaks, leading to increased winter weather. Meteorologists are observing a possible early onset of “sudden stratospheric warming,” which affects the polar vortex and can result in colder conditions and more snowfall, particularly in the central U.S. Long-range forecasts suggest a likelihood of below-average temperatures and heavy snow, especially around the Great Lakes region.
